This event will take place in San Jose.

Can China transform its triumph of brick and concrete into a model that will conquer the world? In his book How the City Moved to Mr. Sun, architect Daan Roggeveen lifts the veil on unexplored megacities in the heart of China, laying bare the ruthless logic behind this incredible growth and its impacts not only in China, but also around the world as its growing urban middle class drives up demand for luxury goods, increases emissions of greenhouse gasses and puts further pressure on dwindling energy resources. Join Roggeveen for this evening forum as he combines insightful analysis and deeply human stories of modern city life to dissect China’s en masse growth and the future challenges it poses.
